第一篇:成功之我见
My Definition of Success
成功之我见
Once upon a time,there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose.To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible.One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince...“ Well, you know the rest.The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line ”And they live happily every after.“
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative?How can a story like that endure generations of repetition? Because, I think, it is a typical success story.It is highly philosophical and symbolic.By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1)a goal to be set,as represented by the beautiful princess;2)challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks;3)the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through;and 4)the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result.The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa.If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence.The term ”success", to be sure,will not sit still for easy definition.But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor.To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings.If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared.In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value.The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative.Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person.In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success.That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffers from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this.I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties.Now here I am.If I come out first, it will be a great success for me.If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure,but will also celebrate it as a true success,because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive,to be brave in face of difficulties.For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success.You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties.The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.
第二篇:成功之我见
什么是成功?每个人对成功的见解都是不一样的,然而我认为,成功是相对的,就是做到你想做的,达到你早期树立的目标。
古往今来,有不少人都是成功的。他们的丰功伟绩令人们称颂,也有的人自认为成功,可却给世间带来了灾难。
司马迁是成功的。他在煎受牢狱之灾的同时,不忘写下《史记》,这部被鲁迅评为“史家之绝唱,无韵之离骚”的千古名篇。他是成功的,为后人留下了宝贵的财富。但是,相对于他的文学,他的仕途却不堪入目。皇帝听信小人的谗言,让司马迁含冤入狱,并受以宫刑。即使是这样,他却依然被世人所称赞。
希特勒也是成功的,但是他的成功是建立在他图谋不轨的思想上。他认为他是成功的,想要达到自己一统世界的局面,也确实是那样做的。但是他的这种思想,使得第二次世界大战爆发,使得无数的刀下冤魂不能长眠,使得流血千里,血流成河。所以他遭到了全世界人民的鄙视与谴责。
因此我还是这么认为,成功是相对的,如果你不为周围人的利益所着想,即便你自认为有多成功,都会有人站出来反对你,但如果你时常地为别人想上一想,没有做出多么大的事情,别人也会为你喝彩。
乔布斯这个“活着只为改变世界”的“教主”,在苹果快要被收购的情况下,推出Ipone4,与现实潮流极其符合的一款智能手机,使得苹果“重获新生”。他推动了整个手机业的发展,也使得国内的手机产业又一次得到了巨大压力,无形之间,促进了竞争,这难道不是一个双赢的局面?
对于我们学生,想要成功最主要的还是要靠学习,现在最熟悉的也只有是学习。唯有把学习搞精,弄懂,才能达到自己预期的目标。同学间互相的竞争,互相的追逐,互相的压力都是我们成功的源动力,时时刻刻不忘自己的目标,你便离成功的彼岸不远了。
达到你想达到的,做到你想做到的,不去伤害大多数人的利益,你即刻“拥抱”成功。
第三篇:成功之我见(演讲稿)
However, as a person's whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated.Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don‘t think so.I believe success is the realization of people's hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful.And the most obvious characteristics of them are money, high position and luxurious life.So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose.But the problem is wether it is real success.We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us.If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people's hopes and ideals.Different people have different ideas about success;cause people's hopes and ideas vary from one another.But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility.These are the best treasures.So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand
here speaking to all of you.It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do.But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future.So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!Wish you all good success
